Have them send you a test email and look at the header. It's likely the sender has their emailaddress bufar'd. You can test yourself by setting up a test email box on that domain or another and sending yourself a message from offnetwork (it's what I do).

It's still my guess that the client software (sender's host) sending via frontiernet.net is configured improperly. Can the person who's sending it verify their configuration with frontiernet.net? Can you help them somehow? I just don't see how it could be a toaster problem. The toaster is doing what it's supposed to do. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
